An Eight-Element Short-Backfire Fan-Beam Array.
Abstract
Eight short backfire (SBF) elements aligned on a common planar reflector form a highly efficient fan-beam array capable of yielding a maximum gain of approximately 24 dB. The influence of parameter variations on the array patterns and directivity was experimentally determined by varying the frequency. Normalized design parameters for highest efficiency and for circular polarization capability are tabulated. All array dimensions are given in wavelengths so that each application can easily be scaled for any desired frequency. (Author)
